1. Four Seasons Maui
Getting married in Hawaii, whichever island you choose, is a dream come true for most couples. The near-perfect weather is complemented by beautiful beaches, which are the perfect place to hold the ceremony. Each of its eight islands is unique in charm and character. Big Island has volcanoes, Kauai has a Jurassic Park style jungles, Oahu is a more urban city, while Maui has the most luxury resort area, Wailea.
And where should you stay? Four Seasons Maui in Wailea is my top choice because this is where I got married! But all the Four Seasons beach resorts offer the perfect place to get married, in Hawaii or elsewhere. We have outlined the best Four Seasons in Hawaii to help you choose. These Hawaiian Four Seasons hotels also feature in our selection of the best Four Seasons in the world in you are looking for an alternative to Hawaii for your wedding.
The Four Seasons Maui will help you plan an enchanted wedding day with the help of your Four Seasons wedding planner, who will be personally dedicated to making your wedding dreams a reality.
With a background of spectacular Maui scenery, legendary service, and stunning event venues, you will create the perfect Four Seasons Maui wedding and memories for you and your guests that will last a lifetime. And since there is only one wedding on the property each day, you’ll be sure to enjoy your big day to the fullest.
Worth knowing is that the Four Seasons Maui has 11 function and event spaces and 250 guest reception capacity. It also has beautiful lawns for photos, and it is relatively easy to get to from Mainland USA with plenty of direct flights.
2. Four Seasons Hualalai
Four Seasons Hualalai is located on Big Island, Hawaii, the one with the big and active Kilauea volcano, which means that the whole resort is built on the dramatic black rock. You can take a trip to the live volcano if you like.
With 243 rooms, there is plenty of choice at this Four Seasons. All rooms offer modern Hawaii décor and paddle ceiling fans (along with air conditioning), and each has a lanai or terrace. We prefer the downstairs rooms, which have private outdoor lava rock showers.
The design of this low-rise hotel means that it never feels full, even though this glorious hotel often enjoys 100% occupancy (it’s that good!). The mainly two-story buildings are spread out, so you never feel like the hotel is particularly busy. By comparison, the Four Seasons Maui feels much more lively and busy, which is a good and a bad thing!
The large lobby is open-air, and when you arrive, you get a sweet-smelling lei (flower necklace) and an Oshibori towel, which is a great start to every stay here. Communal areas are also always immaculate, and the wonderful garden stretches down to the beach.
My favorite thing at the resort is the King’s Pond. Four Seasons brings the ocean into the resort for you with this pool, which is a quarry-like pond with a sandy bottom, carved free form out of the black lava, and teeming with fish. It is right next to the beach and is one of the most unique resort features I have seen. It’s filled with seawater and is home to thousands of fish, including a couple of spotted eagle rays.
You can swim in this pool for as long as you like with complimentary snorkel gear. Swim with real fish and rays, a truly magical experience, and all with the convenience of being just a short walk from your room. It’s a “must-do” for your bucket list. After your swim, or between swims, laze on a pool chair and have a drink or a bite to eat.
There are five other swimming pools, some with sloping and sand bottoms, some with hot tubs/ You can look forward to complimentary frozen grapes poolside, which are a lovely touch.
In this unique setting, picture your Hawaii wedding in an island paradise that captures the essence of earthly elegance and relaxed sophistication. With the azure blue of the Pacific Ocean as your background, the day will be set among inky-black lava rock, towering palm trees, and one of the world’s most stunning sunsets.
Your Four Seasons Hualalai wedding manager will guide you through every step of the wedding process, all the way through to the moment you depart the Resort as a happily married couple.
You don’t even need to leave for your honeymoon! Four Seasons defines the essence of a superb honeymoon in Hualalai, Hawaii. They’ll help you craft every unforgettable detail.
3. Four Seasons Lanai
This Four Seasons Lanai is the most difficult Four Seasons to get to on the Hawaiian Islands. The Maui and Oahu hotels can be reached by one flight direct from the mainland and then a short transfer. International flights do not fly into the tiny airport in Lanai.
Lanai offers a mix of lunar landscapes, mountain forests, red lava coastal cliffs, and miles and miles of empty beaches. This Four Seasons is exclusive and peaceful. The two pools at this Four Seasons are open day and night. A lagoon-style, free-form family pool comes with whirlpools and is located below the lobby, and features a cascading waterfall. An adults-only pool is located in a quiet corner of the resort (the so-called ‘adults-only retreat’). It has amazing waterfalls and lava rock grottos mimicking Lanai’s dramatic cliffs.
Love stories unfold on secluded, naturally beautiful Lanai if you chose Lanai for your Four Seasons wedding. This private-island retreat, with its verdant mountains, seaside cliffs, and broad beaches, inspires romance, making it an ideal destination for weddings, honeymoons, vow renewals, and special anniversaries.
Perhaps the most special feature of this Four Seasons is the beach at the Four Seasons Lanai, which is spectacular. It is possibly the best and most empty beach of all the Hawaiian islands, so it is perfect for your wedding photos. The resort itself sits on a red-lava bluff with views over Hulopoe Bay and its pristine beach. This stunning beach is a 5-minute stroll from the hotel’s lobby via meandering pathways. Watch spinner dolphins jumping about in the water in the summer and humpback whales in the winter while you make your vows.
At Four Seasons Resort Lanai, elegant indoor and outdoor venues allow you to realize your unique vision for your event, from intimate gatherings to multi-day events, completely customized to your needs. Whether it’s a first wedded kiss framed by the Hawaiian sunset or an evening of dancing beneath a canopy of stars, find your heart’s content on Lanai.
4. Four Seasons Nevis
We have detailed which Four Seasons we think is the best Four Seasons in the Caribbean, but it is very hard to choose between these glorious hotels.
Like Hawaii, the Caribbean has golden sand beaches, picture-perfect sunsets, and bucketloads of romance. When choosing between these Four Seasons hotels, Nevis is more barefoot Four Seasons luxury Anguilla offers more of a “strike a pose” style, while The Ocean Club offers historic glamour.
All the Four Seasons in the Caribbean offer idyllic venues for a beachside wedding, and the cheapest Four Seasons in the Caribbean is the Four Seasons Nevis.
Nevis is readily accessible from all major points in the USA, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Nevis is also cheap compared to the Hawaiian Four Seasons. It must be said that no Four Seasons is cheap and Nevis is still very pricy. We are considering a scale of expensive to slightly cheaper. If you are looking for a cheap Four Seasons hotel for your wedding, you won’t find it.
Four Seasons Nevis is located along the stunning Pinney’s Beach, the most beautiful beach on Nevis. A vast array of facilities, including golf, watersports, and probably the best spa of all the Four Seasons in the Caribbean.

Four Seasons Resort Nevis has recently been re-envisioned with new guest rooms and suites, and the Resort’s signature pool has been reconstructed and raised to create one long sightline from the Great House lobby straight out to the Caribbean Sea horizon. This makes it an incredible spot.
In the evening, the restaurant has a vibrant beachfront party atmosphere offering an eclectic farm-to-table blend of the Caribbean and American cuisines. The shaded covered seating area has the option of retracting the awning for views of the stars at dusk and into the night. So romantic.
A Four Seasons Resort Nevis wedding will always be brilliant. The hotel offers luxurious indoor and outdoor event spaces with stunning ocean views, making Nevis one of the world’s premier Caribbean wedding destinations.
From the luscious scents of floral arrangements to the cake and dinner, your Nevis wedding is sure to be an exquisite experience.

6. Four Seasons Hotels, France
For stylish sophistication in Europe, pick Four Seasons Paris Georges V or Four Seasons Cap Ferrat (South of France) for your wedding. Paris is, after all, the city of love, and the Four Seasons in Paris has one of the best hotel pools in Paris, whilst the suite at this Four Seasons has one of the best hotel rooms with a view of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Our favorite European Four Seasons is, however, the Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat, a Four Seasons Hotel, which is the best hotel on the French Riviera. Set in Belle Epoque splendor in a building that dates back to the 1800s, this ultra-luxury hotel offers everything you would expect of the very best Four Seasons hotel, but with a sprinkle of French chic.
The lawns set to the front of the property offer the perfect place for your wedding photos, and the hotel will cordon off one corner of the grounds for your very own private wedding party.
You come here for the picture-perfect grounds, ideal for wedding photos, the views, the ambiance, and to immerse yourself in complete luxury. The gardens of Le Grand Hotel Cap Ferrat are a fragrant mix of pines, lush tropical bushes, and cacti, and apparently, the climate is so mild that even bananas grow here. There are 15 gardeners keeping these gardens immaculate, and there is hardly a leaf out of place.
In front of the main house, the multi-leveled main terrace offers up drinks and cocktails as well as fine dining under fairytale-like trees. When you look out to sea, the pink flowers in the trees seem to contrast and then match the sky as the sunsets. Perfect for romance and your wedding.
